Hello everyone. I found this spoon metal detecting this afternoon after work. I thought it was lead because it bends so easy. It has 3 sunflower looking designs on the front and back. The back mark is gone and was wondering how old it might be.
The orange patina means that it's made of brass. Pewter spoons usually have a greyish patina and are pitted. They don't hold up very well in the ground.
Thank you guys so much!! Both of y'all are right on! I noticed on the bottom of the spoon bowl after cleaning a golden color of the medal indicating brass. Thanks so much!!
